 I have tied the remaining Commands together. Commandments 7 through 10 are more closely related with how we deal with one another. All The Fall Holy Convocations deal with Loving One Another....

7-10. The Whole Law is Summed up in ‘Love The LORD Thy GOD, with All thy heart, mind and strength. The Second is like unto it. Love Your Neighbor as you Love Yourself.’

 The 7th Holy Convocation is The Last Great Awesome Day of The Feast of Tabernacles. This is an Eighth Day and is climaxed at the end of The Millennium by The Great White Throne Judgment. ‘The books will be opened and each one will be judged by their works’ as compared to The Perfect Law in The New Covenant or by The Whole Law of GOD if anyone dares reject The Sacrifice of Jesus Christ.... Romans discusses GOD’s Justice and Righteousness and Romans goes through The 10 Commandments twice.

 There are two different aspects of Judgment:

 First, Christians are judged day by day under the Judgment Seat of Christ. We come under The Blood to The Throne in Jesus’ Name to talk with GOD. HE deals with us in Love and mercy while we are trained. The Website gives these details in The Book of Hebrews.

 Second, unsaved sinners are Judged after The Millennium at The Great White Throne. This is summarized in Revelation 20....

  Judgment is another word for ‘reward’ - There is a positive and a negative aspect to judgment and to reward.... All the world will be brought to Jesus - To ‘bow before Him and confess His Lordship, to the glory of GOD The Father.’ The plan of Salvation has been the same from ‘before The Foundation of The World.’ Thus we see Both The 10 Commandments and The 7 Holy Convocations relate to The Plan of Salvation....

 For Christians, judgment is the work of The Holy Spirit and our training takes place in this life. For unbelievers, Judgment takes place at The Great White Throne at the close of The Millennium.

7. No Adultery - This seems best suited to The Day of Atonement and The Marriage Feast, but as the history of mankind shows, we see Adam and Eve fell away first. Then each of us all - except Jesus has fallen short. So we each need to be trained and disciplined. Jesus is The Perfect Brother, Lamb and High Priest as well as our Loving Husband. There is only ONE GOD, Father and Son.... The worst act of adultery is to give love to any other than GOD....

 The ongoing application of Atonement is shown in The Book of Hebrews. For Christians, we are taken by The Holy Spirit through The Blood of Jesus to The Throne of GOD’s Grace. There each person is trained and disciplined. We are dealt with at The Seat of Christ and thus avoid future judgment. The New Covenant gives us a New View of The Commandments and how we are to observe them.... Our obedience shows, our love and worship to GOD and how we benefit from His Plan of Salvation.

 First John also gives Christians a perspective of Honoring GOD and keeping His Commandments. One of the Themes in First John is Mercy (propitiation, etc.)  

8. No Stealing - We should give out of the abundance given to us. First love and salvation then also out of the abundance of the harvests GOD has given to us.

9. No Lies - Speak The Truth in Love, as HE has loved us and set The Holy Spirit and Word of Truth into our heart and mind. So from the heart our mouth flows with sweetness and truth....

10. Do Not Covet - We should rather rejoice in every good and perfect gift that comes from The Father of Light. Each member of The Body benefits All The joints and members with The Head Who is Christ. We learn that leadership requires responsibility and The Work must first begin at The House of GOD.
